Dimensions: 10 x 8 x 0.75 Media: acrylic on canvas Artist Statement : Deep ultramarine blue is one of my favorite hues. It signifies spirituality and purity. These are unsettling times in which we live. This painting was a reminder for me that pure love still exists in this world.

Dimensions: 5.5 x 7.5 x 4 Media: Polymer clay with acrylic paint Artist Statement : Faces are the central theme in Dana’s artworks. With a multitude of expressions, shapes, and nuances, faces provide endless directions to explore. Color also plays an important role in Dana’s art; she worked extensively in theatre, and bold and dramatic colors serve to evoke moods. Surreal elements are ever-present. Juxtaposing dreamlike imagery invites the viewer to make meaning of contrasting elements. Anthropomorphism in Dana’s art investigates humans' complex and alluring connections to animals.
Dimensions: 8 x 1 x 1.5 Media: Relievo ambrotype (Glass Wet-plate collodion layered over Digital Photograph) Artist Statement : These images are relievo ambrotypes. They layer two photographs to create a single image. The top ambrotype photograph is created on glass using the wet-plate collodion process, while the bottom image is a digital image. The two images merge to produce a single relievo ambrotype.
As sentient beings, we experience the world through our senses. But how do we make meaning of those senses? Do we all interpret those same sensations in the same way? Even more challenging, how do we communicate our personal experience, our interpretation, of those sensations to others? This mystery of consciousness, the mind’s individual interpretation of senses, especially visual, is at the core of this work. How much of what we think we see is “actually there,” and how much does our consciousness influence what we see as actually there, based on our expectations and experience? What interests me is not necessarily how each individual photograph but what happens in the blank space in between the photographs?

Dimensions: 7 x 6 x 6 Media: glaze on ceramic Artist Statement : Here she sits, with a flower for a head. Is it a curse due to her own obsession? Or perhaps she got on the wrong side of a jealous witch...
Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 1.5 Media: acrylic on canvas Artist Statement : I love looking at the sky and at the birds. The variety of colors and light that are displayed in the sky during various weather conditions and times of the day have inspired me to show in my paintings nature's ever changing beauty. I'm fascinated with the way each individual bird is reflected in the sky by the light. The sky changes constantly and each bird is identified by its shadow.

Dimensions: 6 x 6 x 1.5 Media: acrylic on ampersand board Artist Statement : As a painter, I am interested in what happens when color, form, movement, and shape interact with each other forming their own dialogue.
Painting for me is as much about self discovery as it is about visual space.
I paint in response to what my subconscious mind makes room for. I'm using art to escape from old patterns towards a freedom of undeniable love of the self.
I want all emotions and all parts to be present. I paint to make a place for all the parts of myself that seek expression, even if I don’t want to see or love all the parts that make myself.
The works and paintings are finished when they flirt on a lively tension of movement and rest. The next work knows a little about the previous, but still cannot explain itself. They are always moving into unknown territory. They are their own energy.

Dimensions: 8 x 6 x 6 Media: Clear resin and found prism Artist Statement : I believe that art reveals the perspective of the artist, not just what the eye can see. As Paul Klee states "Art does not reproduce the visible, rather it makes visible."

Artist Statement : My work centers on spaces from my imagination that reflect reality but don't represent it, much like a dream. When beginning this painting, The Mystery of the Many Moons, I was thinking about my fascination with the moon as a subject in many of my paintings. I started with a series of angles and the painting grew from there. The moons got more decorative as I continued to paint except for a few that retained their moon-like appearance. As I was painting, the title jumped into my head.
